Night and Day by Virginia Woolf
2.0
Bailed at 40%.
Clearly this wasn't the best Woolf to start with.
The writing style is very similar to my idol & Woolf's sometime friend Katherine Mansfield. But these beautifully crafted & observed gems are better suited the "slice of life" in the short story format & that is where KM succeeds so well. I've looked up the page count on Woolf's better known works & they are much shorter novels than this, so I'm hopeful they will work for me as well.
But Woolf couldn't make me care about any of her characters at all, so I am putting this work aside.
